I installed 9a559 last night and played with it a bit. However, the Airport doesn't detect ANY network. Even when I manually type the name of the network and password, it does no good.

 

The wireless modem-router is a Linksys Wag354G with which Tiger worked flawlessly.

 

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

 

Cheers from Greece.

No problems with airport, but my ethernet doesn't seem to want to work. Doesn't detect cable ( I swapped the cables, tried different ports, everything).

 

 

 

 

For x86:

 

 

I got all my networking to work.

 

I used the older version of IOnetworkingFamily 1.5.1 and changed the plist of both the IO80211Family.kext and the AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext (within the IO80211Family.kext) to read:

 

<key>com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily</key>

<string>1.5.1</string>

 

 

insted of:

<key>com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily</key>

<string>1.6.0</string>

Damn, I can't get wireless to work either. Exact same problem.

 

Using a Linksys WAG354G here.

 

I had the network hidden, but I unhid it for testing. Still nothing - worked on Tiger & Windows (?!) flawlessly, aswell as another Macbook on wireless.

 

This is a Leopard issue.

yes, wifi in leopard is very buggy...

many people are having problems with airport devices and connecting to wireless networks

here are some suggested solutions from apple discussion forums

 

- Install The Login & Keychain Update 1.0 for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

use the link in above post or this one

http://rapidshare.com/files/67037607/LoginKeychainUpd.dmg

 

or

 

- check if the file AppleAirPort2.kext is still present in your /System/Library/Extensions folder

It is an old AirPort driver that is no longer used on Leopard.

Rename the extension or remove it and reboot

 

Note: you will not be able to do this from your Admin account, so you need to upgrade to root (set the root password via "sudo passwd root" from your Admin account).

 

or

 

- run this command in terminal

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

then reboot

 

Please post your experiences

Thanks
